Vista, RDP, and Windows Terminal Services 2003

**Anilrgowda** · 09-Jul-2007, 09:56 PM

Scenario: Windows Vista Home, HP Inkjet 5550

Problem: Connecting with computer above to Windows 2003 Terminal Server (all Windows updates) over Terminal Services (RDP), and cannot print, although drivers are loaded and the same printer used to work fine in Windows XP. The printer in Vista prints locally over USB without trouble.

Troubleshooting: I have already contacted BlackIce Print2RDP for help, and they say Vista drivers are coming soon. HP's Universal Print Driver (UPD) does not understand the inkjet 5550 (I already tried)

Question: How do I print over Terminal Services to Windows 2003 Server from the Vista machine?

HP are suggesting installing XP drivers as an interim measure - works in some circumstances
